@unknownmat said in Arifureta Vol. 14 Discussion!:

Of course the father's reactions are about 90% exaggerated. This is Arifureta after all. I imagine that most of the things her father did in the story are things that most sane adults would only imagine themselves doing in real life.

This is really the key point. This isn't the author trying to show us Kaori has a asshole father in order to introduce drama. It's just playing with the overprotective dad trope for laughs.

@unknownmat Well, now that you mention it, it should at least be another correction; either "all right" was meant, or "alrighty" - there's no "all righty".

Yeah as I figured, it's not so much that the Liberators lost their support, it's that Ehit took the world hostage. Since the Liberators were acting to save the world, there'd be no meaning in a victory that only they would live to see. Hajime was warned well in advance that Ehit would try something like that, and was told what he'd need before making a failed attempt that set off Ehit's self-preservation mode, so he was able to prevent Ehit from pressing his sore loser genocide button. Of course, it also wouldn't have stopped him; Hajime would have protected his own group of people and let the rest of the world burn.

@LeavesCat Well, i won't say much as it now relates to Series continuation from upcoming Light Novel Vol.14 onward (aka., spoiler for LN only readers).

But i would say that majority of political power of the Kingdom (aka., Nobility's & other higher ups) was destroyed during the Demon Invasion covered in LN Vol.6, because they had been mind-controlled by Apostle during that time and later on died during invasion.

So, basically there is no Political power aspect to look into, aka., everything is decided by the surviving royalty's, those being Liliana, her Mother and her younger Brother.
And like i said, Liliana had already given up her right to the throne when she went to make a deal (which was basically her getting married to the Prince in exchange for support) with the Empire in LN Vol.7.
Plus, Liliana doesn't really have much interest in ruling a nation, she is just doing her work as there is no one else currently to hand over the work to.

An 88 caliber gun with a German name? That's unfortunate.

@Shiroi-Hane i get that tingling too on some rides. It isnt sexual, its more like that feelimg you get when you need to pee badly. Not pleasant.

That's a question for Overlap (the Japanese publisher) not J-Novel Club (the English publisher).

@Eminent said in After Story:

That sucks. Don't they do Blu-ray releases worldwide? Have any Blu-ray exclusive novels ever been licensed and sent out with purchases of a Blu-ray set abroad?

By the Grace of the Gods did. In confirming that on discord, I'm also told that Shield Hero and Full Dive got one, but I'm not 100% on those like I am By the Grace of the Gods.

@endoftheline It's fine. I would be just as interested regardless of whether or not you found Kouki's redemption story compelling. I don't feel any strong desire to have people agree with me. I'm just looking to engage more fully with stories that I enjoy. Novel perspectives are always appreciated.

That said, I'm genuinely surprised that I can't find a single other user willing to join team Kouki. I know that there are at least a few us because I've seen them on Reddit.

In fact, there's been a real dearth of Afterstory discussion in general. I guess most people limit themselves to what's been officially published. But I think discussing Kouki's stories would be a blast. It's really hard to talk about without it becoming a spoiler... but to broadly outline his situation...

@terabyte thanks. Fortunately arifureta is the only series where this is an issue for me.

@manddscott

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to point out any errors found, for volumes that have been released as full ebooks it is asked that any corrections be sent to support@j-novel.club

This applies to the published ebook version, as after ebook publication the pre-pub parts on the site became out of date, and are not the latest release.

Thank you

In the story, they refer to auctioneers, and the context indicates but they are referring to the people bidding on the auction. Those are not Auctioneers. Auctioneers are people who are auctioning off the items.

Volume 5 (Premium Edition): 7 Bonus Short Stories The Good-for-Nothing Girls of the Liberators The Legendary Sword Born of Hatred and Confusion In Search of My Beloved Synergist - Part 4 A Challenge in the Two of Them The Reason Miledi Doesn't Tell Anyone Her Birthday The Sadistic Princess and the Usshi of Ur Lake Never Take the Forest Queen Out of the Forest

@myskaros thanks for letting me know I was wondering why that was.

@starkadder The after stories involve all the main characters + the other students and some extras. Each of the main characters seems to get an arc and some of the extras as well. I really liked Tio and Shia's story arcs.

Yes the after-stories are long. I was reading them for a couple weeks then had to take a break to read something else. I really want a professionally translated and published version of the after-stories If the original publisher would stop focusing on the spinoff we'd get tons of books out of the existing wn material.

When I saw Arifureta zero vol 5 hit the calendar last week I didn't see the zero part and got my hopes up that they finally published the next book in the main story, only to be disappointed with Miledi on the cover... she is so annoying.
